Critics' reviews

"A thrilling turn for Jean Smart (...) This series is a novel next step for creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky"

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder kill (...) [It] is the rare show about the business of comedy that actually manages to be funny"

Kristen Baldwin: Entertainment Weekly
"Jean Smart dazzles in this genius dark comedy (...) It’s a spectacular showcase for its leading ladies, and above all, a love letter to life in the comedy trenches."

Meghan O'Keefe: Decider
"An instantly addictive, bitingly hilarious situation comedy (...) Smart and Einbinder are stunningly good together (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"A great portrait of what the entertainment industry does to women as they age out or as they start out (...) This is a good series well on its way to great"

Andrew Crump: The Playlist
"Hacks is terrific in a lot of ways, but it’s also a reminder that writing fake comedy — fake stand-up comedy in particular — is one of the hardest things to do in the world of filmed entertainment (...) Rating: ★★★½ (ouf of 5)"

Alan Sepinwall: Rolling Stone
"Smart is convincing as a standup, but Hacks isn’t especially funny"
